According to European basketball media Eurohoops, former Denver Nuggets forward Vlatko Cancar will not appear on the stage of the next 2025 Men's Basketball European Championship, and he will not represent Slovenia in this game. Although Chan Chal has participated in almost all national team competitions before, the situation has changed significantly this time. Chan Chal hopes to focus on the offseason preparations of his new boss Olimpia Milano. He hopes to focus on restoring his physical condition so that he can completely get rid of the impact of minimally invasive knee surgery in January this year. He also hopes to integrate into the new team's system as soon as possible and play a more important role in the Champions League and Serie A next season.

Qian Chal was born in April 1997. He is 28 years old, 203cm tall and weighs 107kg. He is the Nuggets' 49th pick in the second round in the 2017 NBA Draft. In the NBA regular season last season, Qian Chal played 13 games in total due to injuries, averaging 10.4 minutes per game, with averaging 1.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.2 blocks, as well as 0.8 turnovers and 0.8 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 38.5% and a three-point shooting percentage of 26.7%. In the playoffs last season, Qian Chal played 3 games in total, with only 3.6 minutes per game, and only had a pitiful 0.7 rebounds and 0.7 turnovers. He did not score 1 point during the period, nor did he record any other data.

Chenchall had already gained a foothold in the Nuggets a few seasons ago and was able to get a stable playing time during the regular season. However, in the summer of 2023, he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee while representing Slovenia in the men's basketball World Cup. After suffering serious injuries, Qian Chal was reimbursed for the full season of the 2023-24 season, and his condition has also declined significantly after his comeback. It was difficult for him to get a stable playing time and performance opportunity last season, and we can also intuitively feel the impact of injury on his condition.

According to previous news, Qian Chal signed a two-year contract with Milan Olympia, whose after-tax salary in this contract is about 1.2 million euros. Considering the exchange rate between the euro and the US dollar, his pre-tax salary for this contract is about $3 million. Flatko received a veteran's basic salary contract when he played for his old club Nuggets last season, with a pre-tax salary of only $2.42 million. Even if he can get the basic salary contract of the NBA team this summer, his salary will actually be lower than that of Milan Olympia. With more money and less trouble, close to home, such job opportunities are definitely hard to come by. In this case, it is reasonable for Qian Chal to gain a foothold in his new owner and avoid accidents caused by the national team's game.
